The Petra Zone

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING HERE, JOHN! It is so great and interesting to read everything you've said! Listening to More Power To Ya , I can't help but feel it is one of Petra's finest works. Your part is certainly not inferior to any of the others! Your time spent in the music industry was not was...

Whiteheart in general was a big disappointment for me. I really only liked Don't Wait For the Movie, and their version of The Little Drummer Boy...

Best: 1/2:Beat the System 2/1:This Means War! 3: On Fire! 4: Back to the Street (not perfect, but still good) 5: Beyond Belief 6: Unseen Power 7: Jekyll & Hyde 8: Not of this World 9: More Power to Ya 10: Wake-Up Call 11: Washes Whiter Than 12: Never Say Die 13: No Doubt 14: God Fixation 15: Petra W...

I've never heard a Brown Bannister production that I liked. It's just a matter of personal taste, I guess.

What prices are expected?

I wouldn't say it's "inarguably" the best production, but I can kinda understand liking it. It sounds like it really did sound; they really isn't much in the way of added-on effects. Thus it is like a live album. But I never had a problem with "over-production" as some people call it. I'm a BTS fan,...

"Good News" just doesn't sound catchy to me. Same with the rest of the album. I don't especially like most of the songs you listed, either; The two-ballad mandate was not a good idea. "I am Available" always annoyed me. Some of them did have character, though; (I liked "Hand on My Heart" but can cer...

I had to look up the album online to even remember what the songs were :shock: If "Sunday school candy songs" means it has a tune, then I suppose Believer In Deed is the only one like that (and Just Reach Out, which was too sappy for me to like). Come to think of it, I don't really like any music fr...

...It was a little less edgier than the previous few albums but the sound was progressing in a different direction. I do believe it to be the best production Petra has ever done from the technical & sonic view ... The other four are actually all in my bottom 5 albums with WWT with No Doubt being th...

I don't prefer to clump Wake-Up call with earlier albums; even though Bob was still there, the Elefantes were not, and it's possible that this break in the momentum killed them. Wake-Up Call had harder chords and a clearer sound than later ones, but the tunes were pretty bad, so realistically speaki...

I looked through about 200 records at a thrift store yesterday and found NOTHING. There wasn't any 80s music at all! I never get anything

Get on Your Knees and Fight Like a Man

I remember as a little kid (now I'm a big kid ) I would hear "Lord I Lift Your Name" on the radio. Dunno if that counts though...

Way off topic! :shock: :lol: Thankfully you don't need to have faith in the church. And there will be a remnant, even if the mainstream becomes entirely worthless. The true church will remain! As for the original topic, I don't see why it's such a bad idea; sure you won't get played on the radio, bu...

Switchfoot is positive? Sounds pretty far-fetched to me. Anyway, I was listening to Crumbacher-Duke's Worlds Away , September Lines Are Falling , Rob Frazier Heartland , and T-Bone's History of a Hoodlum (don't really recommend that one...) and lots of other weird stuff. In all probability no-one he...
